About the team:
We are looking for an Onboarding Specialist to join our Sydney Office who is passionate about providing the best onboarding experience and support to APAC customers.
Our Sydney team began to take shape in early 2022 and has now built our go to market teams in sales, customer success, partnerships, marketing, recruiting and product support. As the team grows we will see a continued expansion of Klaviyo’s customer base and the building of a fantastic working culture in line with what we see elsewhere in Klaviyo but with its own local identity. This is your unique opportunity to join us at a very early stage and help to shape our future.
About the role:
As an Onboarding Specialist, you will be the first point of contact with new Klaviyo customers, guiding them through their first 30-45 days of setup and enablement. Our customers vary in size and experience so we are looking for individuals who have a track record of finding creative solutions to unique problems, who thrive in challenging situations and want to apply these skills to solve problems for customers using our software.
How you will make a difference:
- Own customer relationships from completed sale through successful “go live”
- Lead the implementation phase for new customers including project scope definition, project plan development, project resources, and project timeline
